General DescriptionThe device is an asynchronous, uniform block, parallel NOR Flash memory device.READ, ERASE, and PROGRAM operations are performed using a single low-voltage sup-ply. Upon power-up, the device defaults to read array mode.
The main memory array is divided into uniform blocks that can be erased independent-ly so that valid data can be preserved while old data is purged. PROGRAM and ERASEcommands are written to the command interface of the memory. An on-chip program/erase controller simplifies the process of programming or erasing the memory by takingcare of all special operations required to update the memory contents. The end of aPROGRAM or ERASE operation can be detected and any error condition can be identi-fied. The command set required to control the device is consistent with JEDEC stand-ards.
CE#, OE#, and WE# control the bus operation of the device and enable a simple con-nection to most microprocessors, often without additional logic.
The device supports asynchronous random read and page read from all blocks of thearray. It also features an internal program buffer that improves throughput by program-ming 512 words via one command sequence. A 128-word extended memory block over-laps addresses with array block 0. Users can program this additional space and thenprotect it to permanently secure the contents. The device also features different levels ofhardware and software protection to secure blocks from unwanted modification.

Signal DescriptionsThe signal description table below is a comprehensive list of signals for this device fami-ly. All signals listed may not be supported on this device. See Signal Assignments for in-formation specific to this device.
Table 1: Signal Descriptions
Name Type Description
A[MAX:0] Input Address: Selects array cells to access during READ operations. Controls commands sent tothe program/erase controller command interface during WRITE operations.
CE# Input Chip enable: Activates the device, enabling READ and WRITE operations. When CE# is HIGH,the device goes to standby and data outputs are High-Z.
OE# Input Output enable: Active LOW input. OE# LOW enables data output buffers during READ cy-cles. When OE# is HIGH, data outputs are High-Z.
WE# Input Write enable: Controls WRITE operations to the device. Address is latched on the fallingedge of WE# and data is latched on the rising edge.
VPP/WP# Input VPP/Write Protect: Provides WRITE PROTECT and VHH functionality, which protects the low-est or highest block and enables the device to enter unlock bypass mode.
BYTE# Input Byte/word organization select: Selects x8 or x16 bus mode. When BYTE# is LOW, the de-vice is in x8 mode and when HIGH, the device is in x16 mode. Under byte configuration,BYTE# should not be toggled during any WRITE operation.Caution: This pin cannot be floated.
RST# Input Reset: When held LOW for at least tPLPH, applies a hardware reset to the device control log-ic and places it in standby. After RST# goes HIGH, the device is ready for READ and WRITEoperations; that is, after tPHEL or tPHWL, whichever occurs last.
DQ[7:0] I/O Data I/O: During a READ operation, outputs data stored at the selected address. During aWRITE operation, represents the commands sent to the command interface.
DQ[14:8] I/O Data I/O: During a READ operation when BYTE# is HIGH, outputs data stored at the selectedaddress. When BYTE# is LOW, these pins are High-Z and not used. During a WRITE operation,these bits are not used. When reading the data polling register, these bits should be ignored.
DQ15/A-1 I/O Data I/O or address input: When device is in x16 bus mode, this pin behaves as data I/O,together with DQ[14:8]. When device is in x8 bus mode, this pin behaves as the least signifi-cant bit of the address.Unless explicitly stated elsewhere, DQ15 = data I/O (x16 mode) and A-1 = address input (x8mode).
RY/BY# Output Ready busy: Open-drain output used to identify when the device is performing a PROGRAMor ERASE operation. During a PROGRAM or ERASE operation, RY/BY# is LOW. During read,auto select, and erase suspend modes, RY/BY# is High-Z.Enables RY/BY# pins from several devices to be connected to a single pull-up resistor which isconnected to VCCQ. Therefore, RYBY# LOW indicates when one or more of the devices arebusy. A 10K Ohm or bigger resistor is recommended as pull-up resistor to achieve 0.1V VOL.
VCC Supply Supply voltage: Provides power supply for READ, PROGRAM, and ERASE operations. WhenVCC ≤ VLKO, the device is disabled, any PROGRAM or ERASE operation is aborted, and any al-tered content will be invalid.Capacitors of 0.1μF and 0.01µF should be connected between VCC and VSS to decouple thecurrent surges from the power supply. The PCB track widths must be sufficient to carry thecurrents required during PROGRAM and ERASE operations.

VCCQ Supply I/O supply voltage: Provides power supply to the I/O pins and enables all outputs to bepowered independently from VCC.Capacitors of 0.1μF and 0.01µF should be connected between VCCQ and VSS to decouple thecurrent surges from the power supply.
VSS Supply Ground: All VSS pins must be connected to system ground.
RFU — Reserved for future use: Reserved by Micron for future device functionality and enhance-ment. Should be treated as a DNU signal.
DNU — Do not use: Do not connect to any other signal or power supply; Must be left floating.
NC — No connect: No internal connection; Can be driven or floated.

Notes: 1. Typical glitches of less than 3ns on CE#, OE#, and WE# are ignored by the device and donot affect bus operations.
2. H = Logic level HIGH (VIH); L = Logic level LOW (VIL); X = HIGH or LOW.3. If WP# is LOW, then the highest or the lowest block remains protected, depending on
line item.4. Data input is required when issuing a command sequence or when performing data
polling or block protection.
Read
Bus READ operations read from the memory cells, registers, extended memory block, orCFI space. To accelerate the READ operation, the memory array can be read in pagemode where data is internally read and stored in a page buffer.
Page size is 16 words (32 bytes) and is addressed by address inputs A[3:0] in x16 busmode and A[3:0] plus DQ15/A-1 in x8 bus mode. The extended memory blocks and CFIarea support page read mode.
A valid bus READ operation involves setting the desired address on the address inputs,taking CE# and OE# LOW, and holding WE# HIGH. The data I/Os will output the value.If CE# goes HIGH and returns LOW for a subsequent access, a random read access isperformed and tACC or tCE is required. (See AC Characteristics for details about whenthe output becomes valid).
Write
Bus WRITE operations write to the command interface. A valid bus WRITE operationbegins by setting the desired address on the address inputs. The address inputs arelatched by the command interface on the falling edge of CE# or WE#, whichever occurslast. The data I/Os are latched by the command interface on the rising edge of CE# orWE#, whichever occurs first. OE# must remain HIGH during the entire bus WRITE oper-ation (See AC Characteristics for timing requirement details).

Driving CE# HIGH in read mode causes the device to enter standby and data I/Os to beHigh-Z (See DC Characteristics).
During PROGRAM or ERASE operations, the device will continue to use the program/erase supply current (ICC3) until the operation completes. The device cannot be placedinto standby mode during a PROGRAM/ERASE operation.
Output Disable
Data I/Os are High-Z when OE# is HIGH.
Reset
During reset mode the device is deselected and the outputs are High-Z. The device is inreset mode when RST# is LOW. The power consumption is reduced to the standby level,independently from CE#, OE#, or WE# inputs.
When RST# is HIGH, a time of tPHEL is required before a READ operation can accessthe device, and a delay of tPHWL is required before a write sequence can be initiated.After this wake-up interval, normal operation is restored, the device defaults to read ar-ray mode, and the data polling register is reset.
If RST# is driven LOW during a PROGRAM/ERASE operation or any other operation thatrequires writing to the device, the operation will abort within tPLRH, and memory con-tents at the aborted block or address are no longer valid.

Monitors whether the program/erase controller has successful-ly completed its operation, or has responded to an ERASE SUS-PEND operation.
2, 4
DQ6 Toggle bit Toggles: 0 to 1; 1 to 0;and so on
Monitors whether the program, erase, or blank check control-ler has successfully completed its operations, or has respondedto an ERASE SUSPEND operation. During a PROGRAM/ERASE/BLANK CHECK operation, DQ6 toggles from 0 to 1, 1 to 0, andso on, with each successive READ operation from any address.
3, 4, 5
DQ5 Error bit 0 = Success1 = Failure
Identifies errors detected by the program/erase controller. DQ5is set to 1 when a PROGRAM, BLOCK ERASE, or CHIP ERASE op-eration fails to write the correct data to the memory, or whena BLANK CHECK or CRC operation fails.

Notes: 1. The data polling register can be read during PROGRAM, ERASE, or ERASE SUSPEND op-erations; the READ operation outputs data on DQ[7:0].
2. For a PROGRAM operation in progress, DQ7 outputs the complement of the bit beingprogrammed. For a READ operation from the address previously programmed success-fully, DQ7 outputs existing DQ7 data. For a READ operation from addresses with blocksto be erased while an ERASE SUSPEND operation is in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; uponsuccessful completion of the ERASE SUSPEND operation, DQ7 outputs 1. For an ERASEoperation in progress, DQ7 outputs 0; upon ERASE operation's successful completion,DQ7 outputs 1. During a BUFFER PROGRAM operation, the data polling bit is valid onlyfor the last word being programmed in the write buffer.
3. After successful completion of a PROGRAM, ERASE, or BLANK CHECK operation, the de-vice returns to read mode.
4. During erase suspend mode, READ operations to addresses within blocks not beingerased output memory array data as if in read mode. A protected block is treated thesame as a block not being erased. See the Toggle Flowchart for more information.

Notes: 1. Valid address is the last address being programmed or an address within the block beingerased.
2. Failure results: DQ5 = 1 indicates an operation error. A READ/RESET (F0h) command mustbe issued before any subsequent command.
3. Failure results: DQ1 = 1 indicates a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM ABORT operation. Afull three-cycle RESET (AAh/55h/F0h) command sequence must be used to reset the abor-ted device.
4. The data polling process does not support the BLANK CHECK operation. The processrepresented in the Toggle Bit Flowchart figure can provide information on the BLANKCHECK operation.

The READ/RESET (F0h) command returns the device to read mode and resets the errorsin the data polling register. One or three bus WRITE operations can be used to issue theREAD/RESET command. Note: A full three-cycle RESET command sequence must beused to reset the device in the event of a buffered program abort error (DQ1 = 1).
Once a PROGRAM, ERASE, or SUSPEND operation begins, RESET commands are ignor-ed until the operation is complete. Read/reset serves primarily to return the device toread mode from a failed PROGRAM or ERASE operation. Read/reset may cause a returnto read mode from undefined states that might result from invalid command sequen-ces. A hardware reset may be required to return to normal operation from some unde-fined states.
To exit the unlock bypass mode, the system must issue a two-cycle UNLOCK BYPASSRESET command sequence. A READ/RESET command will not exit unlock bypassmode.
READ CFI Command
The READ CFI (98h) command puts the device in read CFI mode and is only valid whenthe device is in read array or auto select mode. One bus WRITE cycle is required to issuethe command.
Once in read CFI mode, bus READ operations will output data from the CFI memoryarea (Refer to the Common Flash Interface for details).
Read CFI mode is exited by performing a reset. The device returns to read mode unlessit entered read CFI mode after an ERASE SUSPEND or PROGRAM SUSPEND command,in which case it returns to erase or program suspend mode.
AUTO SELECT Command
At power-up or after a hardware reset, the device is in read mode. It can then be put inauto select mode by issuing an AUTO SELECT (90h) command. Auto select mode ena-bles the following device information to be read:
• Electronic signature, which includes manufacturer and device code information asshown in the Electronic Signature table.
• Block protection, which includes the block protection status and extended memoryblock protection indicator, as shown in the Block Protection table.
Electronic signature or block protection information is read by executing a READ opera-tion with control signals and addresses set, as shown in the Read Electronic Signaturetable or the Block Protection table, respectively. In addition, this device information canbe read or set by issuing an AUTO SELECT command.
Auto select mode can be used by the programming equipment to automatically match adevice with the application code to be programmed.
Three consecutive bus WRITE operations are required to issue an AUTO SELECT com-mand. The device remains in auto select mode until a READ/RESET or READ CFI com-mand is issued.

The device cannot enter auto select mode when a PROGRAM or ERASE operation is inprogress (RY/BY# LOW). However, auto select mode can be entered if the PROGRAM orERASE operation has been suspended by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPEND or ERASE SUS-PEND command.
Auto select mode is exited by performing a reset. The device returns to read mode un-less it entered auto select mode after an ERASE SUSPEND or PROGRAM SUSPENDcommand, in which case it returns to erase or program suspend mode.

The CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK (CRC) command is a nonsecure hash function de-signed to detect accidental changes to raw data. Typically, it is used in digital networksand storage devices such as hard disk drives. A CRC-enabled device calculates a short,fixed-length binary sequence known as the CRC code (or CRC). The device CRC opera-tion will generate the CRC result of the whole device or of an address range specified bythe operation. Then the CRC result is compared with the expected CRC data provided inthe sequence. Finally, the device indicates a pass or fail through the data polling regis-ter. If the CRC fails, corrective action is possible, such as re-verifying with a normalREAD mode or rewriting the array data.
CRC is a higher performance alternative to reading data directly to verify recently pro-grammed data, or as a way to periodically check the data integrity of a large block ofdata against a stored CRC reference over the life of the product.
CRC helps improve test efficiency for programmer or burn-in stress tests. No systemhardware changes are required to enable CRC.
The CRC-64 operation follows the ECMA standard; the generating polynomial is:

The UNLOCK BYPASS (20h) command is used to place the device in unlock bypassmode. Three bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UNLOCK BYPASS com-mand.
When the device enters unlock bypass mode, the two initial UNLOCK cycles requiredfor a standard PROGRAM or ERASE operation are not needed, thus enabling faster totalprogram or erase time.
The UNLOCK BYPASS command is used in conjunction with UNLOCK BYPASS PRO-GRAM or UNLOCK BYPASS ERASE commands to program or erase the device fasterthan with standard PROGRAM or ERASE commands. Using these commands can saveconsiderable time when the cycle time to the device is long. When in unlock bypassmode, only the following commands are valid:
• The UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM command can be issued to program addresseswithin the device.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command can then be issued to erase one ormore memory blocks.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command can be issued to erase the whole mem-ory array.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM and UNLOCK BYPASS EN-HANCED WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM commands can be issued to speed up theprogramming operation.
• The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET command can be issued to return the device to readmode.
In unlock bypass mode, the device can be read as if in read mode.
In addition to the UNLOCK BYPASS command, when VPP/WP# is raised to VHH, the de-vice automatically enters unlock bypass mode. When V PP/WP# returns to VIH or VIL, thedevice is no longer in unlock bypass mode, and normal operation resumes. The transi-tions from VIH to VHH and from VHH to VIH must be slower than tVHVPP. (See the Accel-erated Program, Data Polling/Toggle AC Characteristics.)
Note: Micron recommends entering and exiting unlock bypass mode using the ENTERUNLOCK BYPASS and UNLOCK BYPASS RESET commands rather than raising VPP/WP#to VHH. VPP/WP# should never be raised to VPPH from any mode except read mode; oth-erwise, the device may be left in an indeterminate state. VPP/WP# should not remain atVHH for than 80 hours cumulative.
UNLOCK BYPASS RESET Command
The UNLOCK BYPASS RESET (90/00h) command is used to return to read/reset modefrom unlock bypass mode. Two bus WRITE operations are required to issue the UN-LOCK BYPASS RESET command. The READ/RESET command does not exit from un-lock bypass mode.

The PROGRAM (A0h) command can be used to program a value to one address in thememory array. The command requires four bus WRITE operations, and the final WRITEoperation latches the address and data in the internal state machine and starts the pro-gram/erase controller. After programming has started, bus READ operations output thedata polling register content.
Programming can be suspended and then resumed by issuing a PROGRAM SUSPENDcommand and a PROGRAM RESUME command, respectively.
If the address falls in a protected block, the PROGRAM command is ignored, and thedata remains unchanged. The data polling register is not read, and no error condition isgiven.
After the PROGRAM operation has completed, the device returns to read mode, unlessan error has occurred. When an error occurs, bus READ operations to the device contin-ue to output the data polling register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to resetthe error condition and return the device to read mode.
The PROGRAM command cannot change a bit set to 0 back to 1, and an attempt to doso is masked during a PROGRAM operation. Instead, an ERASE command must be usedto set all bits in one memory block or in the entire memory from 0 to 1.
The PROGRAM operation is aborted by performing a hardware reset or by poweringdown the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommendedthat the words or bytes that were aborted be reprogrammed.
UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM (A0h)command can be used to program one address in the memory array. The command re-quires two bus WRITE operations instead of four required by a standard PROGRAMcommand; the final WRITE operation latches the address and data and starts the pro-gram/erase controller (The standard PROGRAM command requires four bus WRITE op-erations). The PROGRAM operation using the UNLOCK BYPASS PROGRAM commandbehaves identically to the PROGRAM operation using the PROGRAM command. Theoperation cannot be aborted. A bus READ operation to the memory outputs the datapolling register.
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM Command
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM (25h) command makes use of the program buffer tospeed up programming and dramatically reduces system programming time comparedto the standard non-buffered PROGRAM command. This product supports a 512-word(x16) or 256-byte (x8) maximum program buffer.
When issuing a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command, V PP/WP# can be held HIGHor raised to VHH. Also, it can be held LOW if the block is not the lowest or highest block,depending on the part number.
The following successive steps are required to issue the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAMcommand:
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 31 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
First, two UNLOCK cycles are issued. Next, a third bus WRITE cycle sets up the WRITETO BUFFER PROGRAM command. The set-up code can be addressed to any locationwithin the targeted block. Then, a fourth bus WRITE cycle sets up the number of words/bytes to be programmed. Value n is written to the same block address, where n + 1 is thenumber of words/bytes to be programmed. Value n + 1 must not exceed the size of theprogram buffer, or the operation will abort. A fifth cycle loads the first address and datato be programmed. Last, n bus WRITE cycles load the address and data for each word/byte into the program buffer. Addresses must lie within the range from the start address+1 to the start address + (n - 1).
Optimum programming performance and lower power usage are achieved by aligningthe starting address at the beginning of a 512-word boundary (A[8:0] = 0x000h). Anybuffer size smaller than 512 words is allowed within a 512-word boundary, while all ad-dresses used in the operation must lie within the 512-word boundary. In addition, anycrossing boundary buffer program will result in a program abort. For a x8 application,maximum buffer size is 256 bytes; for a x16 application, the maximum buffer size is1024 bytes.
To program the content of the program buffer, this command must be followed by aWRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command.
If an address is written several times during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation,the address/data counter will be decremented at each data load operation, and the datawill be programmed to the last word loaded into the buffer.
Invalid address combinations or the incorrect sequence of bus WRITE cycles will abortthe WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command.
The data polling register bits DQ1, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7 can be used to monitor the devicestatus during a WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM operation.
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command should not be used to change a bit set to0 back to 1, and an attempt to do so is masked during the operation. Rather than theWRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command, the ERASE command should be used to setmemory bits from 0 to 1.

When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER(25h) command can be used to program the device in fast program mode. The com-mand requires two bus WRITE operations fewer than the standard WRITE TO BUFFERPROGRAM command.
The UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command behaves the same wayas the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command: the operation cannot be aborted, anda bus READ operation to the memory outputs the data polling register.
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM command is used to confirm an UN-LOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1words/bytes loaded in the program buffer by this command.
WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM Command
The WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM CONFIRM (29h) command is used to confirm aWRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command and to program the n + 1 words/bytes loadedin the program buffer by this command.
BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET Command
A BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT AND RESET (F0h) command must be issued to resetthe device to read mode when the BUFFER PROGRAM operation is aborted. The bufferprogramming sequence can be aborted in the following ways:
• Load a value that is greater than the page buffer size during the number of locationsto program in the WRITE TO BUFFER PROGRAM command.
• Write to an address in a different block than the one specified during the WRITE BUF-FER LOAD command.
• Write an address/data pair to a different write buffer page than the one selected bythe starting address during the program buffer data loading stage of the operation.
• Write data other than the CONFIRM command after the specified number of dataload cycles.
The abort condition is indicated by DQ1 = 1, DQ7 = DQ7# (for the last address locationloaded), DQ6 = toggle, and DQ5 = 0 (all of which are data polling register bits). A BUF-FERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command sequence must be written to reset thedevice for the next operation.
Note: The full three-cycle BUFFERED PROGRAM ABORT and RESET command se-quence is required when using buffer programming features in unlock bypass mode.
PROGRAM SUSPEND Command
The PROGRAM SUSPEND (B0h) command can be used to interrupt a program opera-tion so that data can be read from another block. When the PROGRAM SUSPEND com-mand is issued during a program operation, the device suspends the operation withinthe program suspend latency time and updates the data polling register bits.
After the program operation has been suspended, data can be read from any address.However, data is invalid when read from an address where a program operation hasbeen suspended.
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 34 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
The PROGRAM SUSPEND command may also be issued during a PROGRAM operationwhile an erase is suspended. In this case, data may be read from any address not inerase suspend or program suspend mode. To read from the extended memory blockarea (one-time programmable area), the ENTER/EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCKcommand sequences must be issued.
The system may also issue the AUTO SELECT command sequence when the device is inprogram suspend mode. The system can read as many auto select codes as required.When the device exits auto select mode, the device reverts to program suspend modeand is ready for another valid operation.
The PROGRAM SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device reset or power-down. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that thewords or bytes that were aborted be reprogrammed.
PROGRAM RESUME Command
The PROGRAM RESUME (30h) command must be issued to exit a program suspendmode and resume a PROGRAM operation. The controller can use DQ7 or DQ6 datapolling bits to determine the status of the PROGRAM operation. After a PROGRAM RE-SUME command is issued, subsequent PROGRAM RESUME commands are ignored.Another PROGRAM SUSPEND command can be issued after the device has resumedprogramming.
ACCELERATED BUFFERED PROGRAM OperationsACCELERATED BUFFER PROGRAM operations provides faster performance thanstandard program command sequences. Operations are enabled through VPP/WP# un-der the VHH voltage supply.
When the system asserts VHH on input, the device automatically enters the UNLOCKBYPASS mode, which enables the system to use the UNLOCK BYPASS WRITE TO BUF-FER PROGRAM (25h) command sequence.
Removing VHH from the VPP upon completion of the embedded program operation re-turns the device to normal operation.

The CHIP ERASE (80/10h) command erases the entire chip. Six bus WRITE operationsare required to issue the command and start the program/erase controller.
Protected blocks are not erased. If all blocks are protected, the data remains unchanged.No error is reported when protected blocks are not erased.
During the CHIP ERASE operation, the device ignores all other commands, includingERASE SUSPEND. It is not possible to abort the operation. All bus READ operations dur-ing CHIP ERASE output the data polling register on the data I/Os. See the Data PollingRegister section for more details.
After the CHIP ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unless anerror has occurred. If an error occurs, the device will continue to output the data pollingregister.
When the operation fails, a READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the errorcondition and return to read mode. The status of the array must be confirmed throughthe BLANK CHECK operation and the BLOCK ERASE command re-issued to the failedblock.
The CHIP ERASE command sets all of the bits in unprotected blocks of the device to 1.All previous data is lost.
The operation is aborted by performing a reset or by powering down the device. In thiscase, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the entire chip beerased again.
UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE (80/10h)command can be used to erase all memory blocks at one time. The command requiresonly two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard CHIP ERASE com-mand. The final bus WRITE operation starts the program/erase controller.
The UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE command behaves the same way as the CHIPERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to thememory outputs the data polling register.
BLOCK ERASE Command
The BLOCK ERASE (80/30h) command erases a list of one or more blocks. It sets all bitsin the selected, unprotected blocks to 1. All previous, selected, unprotected blocks datain the selected blocks is lost.
Six bus WRITE operations are required to select the first block in the list. Each addition-al block in the list can be selected by repeating the sixth bus WRITE operation using theaddress of the additional block. After the command sequence is written, a block erasetimeout occurs.
During the period specified by the block erase timeout parameter, additional block ad-dresses and BLOCK ERASE commands can be written. Any command except BLOCKERASE or ERASE SUSPEND during this timeout period resets that block to the read
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 36 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
mode. The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the block erase timer has timedout.
After the program/erase controller has started, it is not possible to select any moreblocks. Each additional block must therefore be selected within the timeout period ofthe last block. The timeout timer restarts when an additional block is selected. After thesixth bus WRITE operation, a bus READ operation outputs the data polling register. Seethe WE#-Controlled Program waveforms for details on how to identify if the program/erase controller has started the BLOCK ERASE operation.
After the BLOCK ERASE operation completes, the device returns to read mode, unlessan error has occurred. If an error occurs, bus READ operations will continue to outputthe data polling register. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the errorcondition and return to read mode.
If any selected blocks are protected, they are ignored, and all the other selected blocksare erased. If all selected blocks are protected, the data remains unchanged. No errorcondition is given when protected blocks are not erased.
During the BLOCK ERASE operation, the device ignores all commands except theERASE SUSPEND command and the READ/RESET command, which is accepted onlyduring the timeout period. The operation is aborted by performing a hardware reset orpowering down the device. In this case, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is rec-ommended that the aborted blocks be erased again.
UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE Command
When the device is in unlock bypass mode, the UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE(80/30h) command can be used to erase one or more memory blocks at a time. Thecommand requires two bus WRITE operations instead of six using the standard BLOCKERASE command. The final bus WRITE operation latches the address of the block andstarts the program/erase controller.
To erase multiple blocks (after the first two bus WRITE operations have selected the firstblock in the list), each additional block in the list can be selected by repeating the sec-ond bus WRITE operation using the address of the additional block.
Any command except BLOCK ERASE or ERASE SUSPEND during a timeout period re-sets that block to the read mode. The system can monitor DQ3 to determine if the blockerase timer has timed out.
The UNLOCK BYPASS BLOCK ERASE command behaves the same way as the BLOCKERASE command: the operation cannot be aborted, and a bus READ operation to thememory outputs the data polling register. See the BLOCK ERASE Command section fordetails.
ERASE SUSPEND Command
The ERASE SUSPEND (B0h) command temporarily suspends a BLOCK ERASE opera-tion. One bus WRITE operation is required to issue the command. The block address is"Don't Care."
The program/erase controller suspends the ERASE operation within the erase suspendlatency time of the ERASE SUSPEND command being issued. However, when theERASE SUSPEND command is written during the block erase timeout, the device im-mediately terminates the timeout period and suspends the ERASE operation. After the
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 37 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
Reading from a suspended block will output the data polling register. If an attempt ismade to program in a protected or suspended block, the PROGRAM command is ignor-ed and the data remains unchanged; also, the data polling register is not read and noerror condition is given.
Before the RESUME command is initiated, the READ/RESET command must to issuedto exit AUTO SELECT and READ CFI operations. In addition, the EXIT UNLOCK BYPASSand EXIT EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK commands must be issued to exit unlock by-pass and the extended memory block modes.
An ERASE SUSPEND command is ignored if it is written during a CHIP ERASE opera-tion.
If the ERASE SUSPEND operation is aborted by performing a device hardware reset orpower-down, data integrity cannot be ensured, and it is recommended that the suspen-ded blocks be erased again.
ERASE RESUME Command
The ERASE RESUME (30h) command restarts the program/erase controller after anERASE SUSPEND operation.
The device must be in read array mode before the RESUME command will be accepted.An erase can be suspended and resumed more than once.
ACCELERATED CHIP ERASE OperationsThe ACCELERATED CHIP ERASE operation provides faster performance than thestandard CHIP ERASE command sequence. Operations are enabled through VPP/WP#under the VHH voltage supply.
When the system asserts VHH on input, the device automatically enters the UNLOCKBYPASS mode, which enables the system to use the UNLOCK BYPASS CHIP ERASE(80/30h) command sequence.
When a block is protected, the CHIP ERASE command skips the protected block andcontinues with next block erase. The command algorithm skips a block that failed toerase and continues with the remaining blocks. The fail flag will be set for the operation.
Removing VHH from the VPP/WP# upon completion of the embedded erase operationreturns the device to normal operation. When an error occurs or when the operation
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 38 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
VPP/WP# Requirement: Must not be at VHH for operations except ACCELERATED PROGRAM andCHIP ERASE; otherwise device can be damaged.
VHH applied to VPP/WP# Requirement: Maximum cumulative period of 80 hours.
Power-up Recommendation: Apply VHH on VPP/WP# after VCC/VCCQ is stable on.
Power-down Recommendation: Adjust VPP/WP# from VHH to VIH/VIL before VCC/VCCQ goes LOW.
BLANK CHECK Operation
BLANK CHECK Commands
Two commands are required to execute a BLANK CHECK operation: BLANK CHECKSETUP (EB/76h) and BLANK CHECK CONFIRM AND READ (29h).
The BLANK CHECK operation determines whether a specified block is blank (that is,completely erased). It can also be used to determine whether a previous ERASE opera-tion was successful, including ERASE operations that might have been interrupted bypower loss.
The BLANK CHECK operation checks for cells that are programmed or over-erased. If itfinds any, it returns a failure status, indicating that the block is not blank. If it returns apassing status, the block is guaranteed blank (all 1s) and is ready to program.
Before executing, the ERASE operation initiates an embedded BLANK CHECK opera-tion, and if the target block is blank, the ERASE operation is skipped, benefitting overallcycle performance; otherwise, the ERASE operation continues.
The BLANK CHECK operation can occur in only one block at a time, and during its exe-cution, reading the data polling register is the only other operation allowed. Readingfrom any address in the device enables reading the data polling register to monitorblank check progress or errors. Operations such as READ (array data), PROGRAM,ERASE, and any suspended operation are not allowed.
After the BLANK CHECK operation has completed, the device returns to read mode un-less an error has occurred. When an error occurs, the device continues to output datapolling register data. A READ/RESET command must be issued to reset the error condi-tion and return the device to read mode.

The VPP/WP# function provides a hardware method of protecting either the highest orlowest block. When V PP/WP# is LOW, PROGRAM and ERASE operations on either ofthese block options is ignored to provide protection. When V PP/WP# is HIGH, the de-vice reverts to the previous protection status for the highest or lowest block. PROGRAMand ERASE operations can modify the data in either of these block options unless blockprotection is enabled.
Note: Micron highly recommends driving VPP/WP# HIGH or LOW. If a system needs tofloat the VPP/WP# pin, without a pull-up/pull-down resistor and no capacitor, then aninternal pull-up resistor is enabled.
Table 14: VPP/WP# Functions
VPP/WP# Settings Function
VIL Highest or lowest block is protected.
VIH Highest or lowest block is unprotected unless software protection is activated.
Software Protection
The following software protection modes are available:
The device is shipped with all blocks unprotected. On first use, the device defaults tothe nonvolatile protection mode but can be activated in either the nonvolatile protec-tion or password protection mode.
The desired protection mode is activated by setting either the nonvolatile protectionmode lock bit or the password protection mode lock bit of the lock register (see the LockRegister section). Both bits are one-time-programmable and nonvolatile; therefore, af-ter the protection mode has been activated, it cannot be changed, and the device is setpermanently to operate in the selected protection mode. It is recommended that thedesired software protection mode be activated when first programming the device.
For the highest or lowest block, a higher level of block protection can be achieved bylocking the block using nonvolatile protection mode and holding VPP /WP# LOW.
Blocks with volatile protection and nonvolatile protection can coexist within the memo-ry array. If the user attempts to program or erase a protected block, the device ignoresthe command and returns to read mode.
The block protection status can be read by performing a read electronic signature or byissuing an AUTO SELECT command (see the Block Protection table).
Refer to the Block Protection Status table and the Software Protection Scheme figure fordetails on the block protection scheme. Refer to the Protection Operations section for adescription of the command sets.

Volatile protection enables the software application to protect blocks against inadver-tent change and can be disabled when changes are needed. Volatile protection bits areunique for each block and can be individually modified. Volatile protection bits controlthe protection scheme only for unprotected blocks whose nonvolatile protection bitsare cleared to 1. Issuing a PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT or CLEAR VOLATILEPROTECTION BIT command sets to 0 or clears to 1 the volatile protection bits and pla-ces the associated blocks in the protected (0) or unprotected (1) state, respectively. Thevolatile protection bit can be set or cleared as often as needed.
When the device is first shipped, or after a power-up or hardware reset, the volatile pro-tection bits default to 1 (unprotected).
Nonvolatile Protection Mode
A nonvolatile protection bit is assigned to each block. Each of these bits can be set forprotection individually by issuing a PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT com-mand. Also, each device has one global volatile bit called the nonvolatile protection bitlock bit; it can be set to protect all nonvolatile protection bits at once. This global bitmust be set to 0 only after all nonvolatile protection bits are configured to the desiredsettings. When set to 0, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit prevents changes to thestate of the nonvolatile protection bits. When cleared to 1, the nonvolatile protectionbits can be set and cleared using the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT andCLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS commands, respectively.
No software command unlocks the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit unless the deviceis in password protection mode; in nonvolatile protection mode, the nonvolatile protec-tion bit lock bit can be cleared only by taking the device through a hardware reset orpower-up.
Nonvolatile protection bits cannot be cleared individually; they must be cleared all atonce using a CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS command. They will re-main set through a hardware reset or a power-down/power-up sequence.
If one of the nonvolatile protection bits needs to be cleared (unprotected), additionalsteps are required: First, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit must be cleared to 1, us-ing either a power-cycle or hardware reset. Then, the nonvolatile protection bits can bechanged to reflect the desired settings. Finally, the nonvolatile protection bit lock bitmust be set to 0 to lock the nonvolatile protection bits. The device now will operate nor-mally.
To achieve the best protection, the PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION LOCK BITcommand should be executed early in the boot code, and the boot code should be pro-tected by holding VPP/WP# LOW.
Nonvolatile protection bits and volatile protection bits have the same function whenVPP/WP# is HIGH or when VPP/WP# is at the voltage for program acceleration (VHH ).
Password Protection Mode
The password protection mode provides a higher level of security than the nonvolatileprotection mode by requiring a 64-bit password to unlock the nonvolatile protection bitlock bit. In addition to this password requirement, the nonvolatile protection bit lockbit is set to 0 after power-up and reset to maintain the device in password protectionmode.
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 41 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
Executing the UNLOCK PASSWORD command by entering the correct password clearsthe nonvolatile protection bit lock bit, enabling the block nonvolatile protection bits tobe modified. If the password provided is incorrect, the nonvolatile protection bit lockbit remains locked, and the state of the nonvolatile protection bits cannot be modified.
To place the device in password protection mode, the following two steps are required:First, before activating the password protection mode, a 64-bit password must be setand the setting verified. Password verification is allowed only before the password pro-tection mode is activated. Next, password protection mode is activated by program-ming the password protection mode lock bit to 0. This operation is irreversible. After thebit is programmed, it cannot be erased, the device remains permanently in passwordprotection mode, and the 64-bit password can be neither retrieved nor reprogrammed.In addition, all commands to the address where the password is stored are disabled.
Note: There is no means to verify the password after password protection mode is ena-bled. If the password is lost after enabling the password protection mode, there is noway to clear the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit.

From the 5th to the 10th address cycle, the values for each addressand data pair continue the pattern shown in the table as follows: address and data = 02and PWD2; 03 and PWD3; 04 and PWD4; 05 and PWD5; 06 and PWD6; 07 and PWD7.
For the x16 UNLOCK PASSWORD command, the nth (and final) address cycle equals the7th address cycle. For the 5th and 6th address cycles, the values for the address and datapair continue the pattern shown in the table as follows: address and data = 02 andPWD2; 03 and PWD3.
11. Both nonvolatile and volatile protection bit settings are as follows: Protected state = 00;Unprotected state = 01.
12. The CLEAR ALL NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS command programs all nonvolatile pro-tection bits before erasure. This prevents over-erasure of previously cleared nonvolatileprotection bits.

Protection OperationsBlocks can be protected individually against accidental PROGRAM or ERASE operationson both 8-bit and 16-bit configurations. The block protection scheme is shown in theSoftware Protection Scheme figure. Memory block and extended memory block protec-tion is configured through the lock register.
LOCK REGISTER Commands
After the ENTER LOCK REGISTER COMMAND SET (40h) command has been issued, allbus READ or PROGRAM operations can be issued to the lock register.
The PROGRAM LOCK REGISTER (A0h) command allows the lock register to be config-ured. The programmed data can then be checked with a READ LOCK REGISTER com-mand by driving CE# and OE# LOW with the appropriate address data on the addressbus.
PASSWORD PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER PASSWORD PROTECTION COMMAND SET (60h) command has beenissued, the commands related to password protection mode can be issued to the device.
The PROGRAM PASSWORD (A0h) command is used to program the 64-bit passwordused in the password protection mode. To program the 64-bit password, the completecommand sequence must be entered eight times at eight consecutive addresses selec-ted by A[1:0] plus DQ15/A-1 in 8-bit mode, or four times at four consecutive addressesselected by A[1:0] in 16-bit mode. By default, all password bits are set to 1. The passwordcan be checked by issuing a READ PASSWORD command.
Note: A password must be programmed per Flash memory die to enable password pro-tection.
The READ PASSWORD command is used to verify the password used in password pro-tection mode. To verify the 64-bit password, the complete command sequence must beentered eight times at eight consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0] plus DQ15/A-1 in8-bit mode, or four times at four consecutive addresses selected by A[1:0] in 16-bitmode. If the password mode lock bit is programmed and the user attempts to read thepassword, the device will output 00h onto the I/O data bus.
The UNLOCK PASSWORD (25/03h) command is used to clear the nonvolatile protec-tion bit lock bit, allowing the nonvolatile protection bits to be modified. The UNLOCKPASSWORD command must be issued, along with the correct password, and requires a6μs delay between successive UNLOCK PASSWORD commands in order to preventhackers from cracking the password by trying all possible 64-bit combinations. If thisdelay does not occur, the latest command will be ignored. Approximately 6μs is re-quired for unlocking the device after the valid 64-bit password has been provided.
NONVOLATILE PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER NONVOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (C0h) command hasbeen issued, the commands related to nonvolatile protection mode can be issued to thedevice.
A block can be protected from program or erase by issuing a PROGRAM NONVOLATILEPROTECTION BIT (A0h) command, along with the block address. This command setsthe nonvolatile protection bit to 0 for a given block.
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 47 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
The status of a nonvolatile protection bit for a given block or group of blocks can beread by issuing a READ NONVOLATILE MODIFY PROTECTION BIT command, alongwith the block address.
The nonvolatile protection bits are erased simultaneously by issuing a CLEAR ALLNONVOLATILE PROTECTION BITS (80/30h) command. No specific block address is re-quired. If the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit is set to 0, the command fails.

NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT Commands
After the ENTER NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT COMMAND SET (50h)command has been issued, the commands that allow the nonvolatile protection bit lockbit to be set can be issued to the device.
PDF: 09005aef8587f25amt28ew_1gb.pdf - Rev. E 11/16 EN 48 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.
The PROGRAM NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT (A0h) command is used toset the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit to 0, thus locking the nonvolatile protectionbits and preventing them from being modified.
The READ NONVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT LOCK BIT STATUS command is used toread the status of the nonvolatile protection bit lock bit.
VOLATILE PROTECTION Commands
After the ENTER VOLATILE PROTECTION COMMAND SET (E0h) command has beenissued, commands related to the volatile protection mode can be issued to the device.
The PROGRAM VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually sets a vola-tile protection bit to 0 for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the sameblock is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit (seethe Block Protection Status table).
The status of a volatile protection bit for a given block can be read by issuing a READVOLATILE PROTECTION BIT STATUS command along with the block address.
The CLEAR VOLATILE PROTECTION BIT (A0h) command individually clears (sets to 1)the volatile protection bit for a given block. If the nonvolatile protection bit for the sameblock is set, the block is locked regardless of the value of the volatile protection bit (seethe Block Protection Status table).
EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK Commands
The device has one extra 128-word extended memory block that can be accessed onlyby the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK (88h) command. The extended memoryblock is 128 words (x16) or 256 bytes (x8). It is used as a security block to provide a per-manent 128-bit secure ID number or to store additional information. The device can beshipped with the extended memory block prelocked permanently by Micron, includingthe 128-bit security identification number. Or, the device can be shipped with the ex-tended memory block unlocked, enabling customers to permanently program and lockit (default). (See Lock Register, the AUTO SELECT command, and the Block Protectiontable).

Address Data
x8 x16 Micron prelocked Customer Lockable
000000h–00000Fh 000000h–000007h Secure ID number Determined bycustomer (default)
After the ENTER EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK command has been issued, the deviceenters the extended memory block mode. All bus READ or PROGRAM operations areconducted on the extended memory block, and the extended memory block is ad-dressed using the addresses occupied by block 0 in the other operating modes (see theMemory Map table).
In extended memory block mode, ERASE, CHIP ERASE, ERASE SUSPEND, and ERASERESUME commands are not allowed. The extended memory block cannot be erased,and each bit of the extended memory block can only be programmed once.

The extended memory block is protected from further modification by programminglock register bit 0. Once invoked, this protection cannot be undone.
The device remains in extended memory block mode until the EXIT EXTENDED MEM-ORY BLOCK (90/00h) command is issued, which returns the device to read mode, oruntil power is removed from the device. After a power-up sequence or hardware reset,the device will revert to reading memory blocks in the main array.
EXIT PROTECTION Command
The EXIT PROTECTION COMMAND SET (90/00h) command is used to exit the lockregister, password protection, nonvolatile protection, volatile protection, and nonvola-tile protection bit lock bit command set modes and return the device to read mode.

Common Flash InterfaceThe common Flash interface (CFI) is a JEDEC-approved, standardized data structurethat can be read from the Flash memory device. It allows a system's software to querythe device to determine various electrical and timing parameters, density information,and functions supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the de-vice, enabling the software to upgrade itself when necessary.
When the READ CFI command is issued, the device enters CFI query mode and the datastructure is read from memory. The following tables show the addresses (A[7:0], A-1)used to retrieve the data. The query data is always presented on the lowest order dataoutputs (DQ[7:0]), and the other data outputs (DQ[15:8]) are set to 0.

Notes: 1. Typical values measured at room temperature and nominal voltages (VCC = 3V).2. Typical and maximum values are sampled, but not 100% tested.3. Erase to suspend is the time between an initial BLOCK ERASE or ERASE RESUME com-
mand and a subsequent ERASE SUSPEND command.4. This typical value allows an ERASE operation to progress to completion--it is important
to note that the algorithm might never finish if the ERASE operation is always suspen-ded less than this specification.
